PETA has long been a fan of using naked celebrities in its campaigns, and now it’s using dead celebrities, too. Bea Arthur stars in the latest ad, a full-pager in today’s Chicago Tribune protesting McDonald’s treatment of its chickens. Arthur, a long-time PETA supporter, even managed to pay for the ad from beyond the grave, through a gift left to PETA in her will.

Just want to let you know PETA is a fraud.. as indicated above. I live in NC... and here is the proof. Read more about this case.. and what the PETA attorney said about animals! TOTAL OUTING OF PETA http://www.consumerfreedom.com...

Is any one surprised? It is PETA; they are a bit short on brains and high on....well....something. Okay, I am as disgusted as anyone with animal abuse in any form. I am no fan of the way farmed animal are treated or raised. However, if you want it changed there are other avenues to pursue. Like not using dead people to get your point across, that is a good place to start.

Please always bear in mind: PETA is a fundraising organisation with the sole intent on making the shadowy owners rich. It only USES animals as a vehicle to raise funds. It feels NOTHING for animals. Where animals land up in its "care" it puts them to death (97% killed vs the average animal welfare organisation's 33% euthenasia rate). PETA IS A FRAUD. It's time to out the people behind PETA.
